Subject: Dr. James G. Bond
Currently - Deputy Director
of Selective Service
Dear Mike,
I understand that Jim Bond is amongst the leading contenders for
Director of Selective Service. At the risk of being redundant, I
believe he can be a real value to the Reagan Administration in
that position, for the following reasons:-
1) He is a proven successful executive with considerable politi-
cal background.
2) He has on numerous occasions been challenged by organized
"left wing" groups and in "head to head" sessions succeeded in con-
consolidating the positions of his conservative and well function-
ing management programs.
3) He is a conservative registered democrat who can be expected
to work well with the "Reagan Program".
4) He is a very intelligent "Black" who knows his capabilities
and therefore has never needed to over-react because he is colored.
He is liked and respected by those who work with and for him. In
1972 he was the first black to be elected to the presidency of a
major Western University.
4) He has had valuable executive experience in the Selective
Service Department.
Having known Dr. Bond since 1972, I believe he will be in a posi-
tion to win friends for the Reagan Administration. Also, to help
neutralize the effectiveness of many of its critics.
Sincerely,
Hugo E. Becker

Dear Mr. Deaver:
We wish to urge immediate resignation of William Webster. We need a NEW
MAN more in agreement with The President.
We would also like to express concern that Hinckley's nem was NOT on the
'Watch close' list' after his Tennessee encounter.
We agree with Patterson Strategy letter that en. Dan. Graham or Gen. Singlaub
would be good replecament men.
Frankly, Mr. Deaver, WE ALSO BELIEVE the assassination attempt was a CONSPIR-
ACY; may well be tried again and again, and that David Rockefeller is not to be
trusted one minute.
We were horrified to see the photo in SPOTLIGHT last fall, of the now presi-
dent DINING WITH ROCKEFELLER! I hope we NEVER see these two together again!
To us, President Reagan is the United States' LAST HOPE to throw off the yoke
of Socialism-Communism which leads into abject SLAVERY!
Already the TV tries to belittle the programs, AND forecast DOOM ahead. This
we think is because Rockefeller controls the media, every word.Hr- ROCKEFELLER is
our very worst enemy- and he is witnin our ranks. We PRAY for President Reagan's
very LIFE as he bucks a man so set on world dictatership.
We simply cannot get all our friends to write in as we do, but, believe me ,
in conversation, they, too, rely on Pres. Reagan absolutely! Bush as president
would be a mitigated disaster. We also pray for the financial CRASH, which may be
the only way to bring Rockefeller to his knees. This idea of U.S. assuming foreign
debts for the citizens here to pay indicates the ANTI- U.S. attitude of the Rocke-
feller banking system.
Also we stand for release of Hess, and return of Wallenburg as US Citizen.
If only some of these acts could get rolling, the people may be better able to
see the direction of future U.S. policy as against formerly surrendering attitudes!
Please do your utmost FOR AMERICA!
Yours most sincerely
PaulBrem Paul Brenn

Dear Mike,
In my 34-plus years, the two events which have meant
the most to me are the Presidential Inauguration of
Ronald Reagan and my graduation from the University
of Notre Dame. The fact that President Reagan will
give his first commencement address (as President)
at Notre Dame on May 17th makes me doubly proud --
one, to have known and worked for the President; and
two, to be a Notre Dame alumnus.
This may sound presumptuous (but I am slowly learning
that there is little lost in asking) if there is a
vacant seat to and from South Bend on May 17th, I'd
love to be the occupant. I'll be in Washington on
business between May 15th through 18th anyway, so
hitching a ride would be easy if it's possible.
No need to reply, Mike, if policy or circumstances
preclude my making the trip. In any event, maybe
I'll see you in and about your office on May 18th.
Warm regards,
Drumin

Dear Trent:
Thank you very much for your letter of April 14th expressing
your interest in the Administration's position on the legis-
lative veto. We appreciate your interest in this matter, and
in the principles of the Republican Party Platform and the
President's campaign.
The Administration is giving serious consideration to the
matter of the legislative veto in a variety of channels. The
subject has been discussed at a Cabinet Council, within the
Office of Management and Budget, and within the framework of
the review of Federal regulatory procedures being supervised
by Vice President Bush. In testimony before a House Judiciary
subcommittee May 7, James C. Miller of the Administration's
task force on Regulation indicated our willingness to consider
some legislative veto provisions for the independent regulatory
commissions.
I appreciate your concerns on this topic, and am grateful for
your comments.

Dear Mr. Deaver;
I trust that you are well and happy. I know that in the
game of politics and with the pressures that you must be
under, being both well and happy at the same time, is a
luxury that a White House Deputy Chief cannot afford,
although God-knows that you are entitled to more than prestige.
In view that the Congree is now discussing the "Strikers and
Welfare" issue, I have taken the liberty of mailing Mr. Robert
Carlson, a study that I did present to the President, while
governor of California in Anril 10, 1971.
The issues and the suggestions of ten years ago, are still as
evident today. I do hope that Mr. Carlson may use these, but
in view that he did not answer my first letter in March, in
which I mailed him some thoughts on cost reductions in his
Welfare study, I am sending you a duplicate of the original
presentation on the subject.
Again, thanks for your expedient answer to my first letter and
your thoughtfulness. It is rare for an important person like
you to be so attentive.
I was very happy to see my personal friend of 25 years, Mr.
Michael Cardenas be appointed to the directorship of Small
Business. I understand that he is doing a very fine job,
in spite of the short time in office. Mr. Phillip Sanchez,
another friend and neighbor in Fresno, California, would have
done an admirable job
too
bad.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance to you in California.
Please phone me at (209) 226 5202.
As always.
P/w Kindly say hello to Mr. Ed Gray. I am on the advisory
board of San Diego Savings & Loans, while Mr. Gray was
on the executive board of the same company before his
appointment. I and the board wish him luck.

Capitol Building
Sacramento, California
Dear Governor:
The Social Welfare Board, being cognizant of the fiscal
limitations of our State, and vividly aware of the heavy
load that could be placed on the already breaking back
of our entire country, did hold two public hearings on
'Strikers applying for Welfare, Health, and other services.
Soon you will be getting a Board report on this new and most
frightening phenomena. The Board attempts to give you the
philosophical, moral, and social aspects of the issues, as
non-expertees see them. The report also presents the
ambivalent views exposed by Management and by the Unions.
After the hearings, I brought to the Board's business
meeting, a series of positive recommendations that, although
technical in nature, went into more detail than the position
taken by the Board. It was the consensus of the Board that,
because of my 'in-depth study', I should send you and the
Director of Welfare, the following suggestions:
SUGGESTIONS:
1. All striking unions must stipulate that their strike
fund, as well as other contigency funds, have been
depleted before they advise and direct their members
to obtain any form of Governmental assistance.
2. All striking members must withdraw all assets that
they may have in the union, and in the company that
is being struck. (Stocks, pension funds, separation
pay, vacation pay, insurance reserves, credit union
funds, etc.)
=
Governor Ronald Reagan
April 10, 1971
Page Two - Strikers Continued
3a. Verification that the union member is not working, must be
given to all its striking members in the form of a 'CUT-OFF'
slip.
b. Unemployment verifications must also be given, by the struck
industry, to all its 'involuntary released' employees.
c. These 'cut-off verifications' by the union and by the industry
management, must be presented to the eligibility worker, or
the intake clerk at the 'HRD' office. This will assist the
department in properly classifying, and information coding, to
ultimately find the applicant another position.
d. Only after all avenues of obtaining employment have been
completed (OJT, WIN, SPECIAL GOV. PROJECTS, etc.) will the
department of Human Resources transfer the applicant-striker
to the County Welfare Department for assistance.
e. Periodic visits, to the office of 'HRD' must be instituted
for all welfare recipients, be they strikers or not. In the
case of farm laborers, they must register at the Farm Labor
Office. (This is now being done for Unemployment Insurance.)
4.
Striking members must conform with all the regulations of the
welfare department. They must be available and looking for
work at all times, merely reporting to the Union hiring hall
is not enough. (See Section #11-30-3 a and b, of the Welfare
and Institutions Code.)
5. Union members, who are on welfare, should not be used by the
striking union for picketing. The only exception would be if
he, or she, would be paid for such services. The amount paid
for picketing must be declared in his 'Outside Income Declara-
tion.
6a. In the localities where strikes are about to occur, or have
just been declared, the county administrator should inform
all 'eligibility workers' and at the HRD office, all employment
service officers, also should be made aware of the possible
application by strikers.
b. All intake workers of HRD and welfare should request from all
applicants to produce their 'Union Cut-Off slip' given to
them by their striking union.
Governor Ronald Reagan
April 10, 1971
Page Three - Strikers Continued
C. At the welfare office, the applicant should show, the
eligibility worker, his union 'Cut-Off Slip' as well as the
'HRD' unemployment documentation.
7. In some small counties, where possible conflict of interest
could exist, due to the eligibility worker and the striking
union-welfare recipient being friends, or neighbors, a neutral
team of eligibility workers may be brought in from an
adjoining county, or from the State's office of Social Welfare.
8. Unions, as well as management, will give full cooperation to
both the Welfare Department and to the "HRD' Department. This
will authorize their union stewards, and management's personnel
staff to open their personnel records and assist, the Welfare
and HRD department's assigned employees, to verify any infor-
mation needed in the processing of striker's employment or
welfare application.
9. Legislation be introduced to have the working in the State's
Unemployment Insurance Code, and the State's Welfare and
Institutions Code be made more compatible where the law refers
to labor disputes. (California Law, Chapter 1, Article 1,
Section 100 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, "Not to use State
funds in the interference of labor disputes.")
10. Congressional representatives, and the Federal Director of
Agriculture, be informed of the disparity of giving Federal
surplus foods, and stamps, to strikers, especially when the
striking employee has been employed by a firm who receives all,
or part of its funds, from the Federal Government.
10a. Post Offices, Naval Docks, all military facilities, General
Services, etc.
b. All State, County and City Government facilities that receive
any federal (matching) funds. This refers mostly to the
Welfare 'Categorical Aid Programs.'
11. The State to continue putting pressure on Congress to amend
the "Stamps and Surplus Food Act,' to permit States to invoke
guidelines that strikers, as well as other applicants of aid,
must follow. (Applies to all previous numbered suggestions.)

12. The 'Welfare and Institutions Code' be amended to permit the
placing of liens on the assets of all strikers, where the
applicant for aid, or other State services has received funds,
and then the Departments find either fraud, overpayment, death,
or the danger of the recipient selling, or transferring any of
his assets.
Some questions were brought up by the Welfare Board, on the probability
that because of the children some cases might require special study,
and a humanitarian procedure. There was also the belief that because
some union members might have just joined the Union, they might not
have had an opportunity to save. The Board, also brought up the
speculation that there are rich and poor unions, and that in different
industries wages fluctuate between $1.30 to $10.00 an hour.
PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT!
Governor it is my contention that the State must avoid any criticism,
by its entering into the philosophical arguments that were presented
by both Management and by the Unions. With a Solomonic wisdom we
should avoid, at all cost, tipping the scales in either direction.
The State must be prepared to take immediate, practical and innovative
remedies before the stability of a balanced budget is completely
ripped asunder, and the welfare monster increase its avaricious
appetite.
As always,

Dear Mr. Deaver,
I am writing you at the suggestion of my mother-in-law , Mrs. Dorothy Custer
of Palo Alto, Calif. She has been very active in the Republican Party in past
years. Unfortunately, her activities in this area have been curtailed recently
by illness. However, she does remember you and felt you might be of some help
to me and my group.
My request is on behalf of the San Jose Patriots of the California Youth
Soccer Association, a soccer team comprised of fifteen 13 and 14 year-old
boys from San Jose, California. We are planning a trip the the Washington
area for the Springfield International Memorial Day Tournament being held
Memorial Day weekend. We are the first team from California to attend this
annual event. Since we're travelling so far we are staying a full week so
that the boys will be able to tour our Nations Capitol thoroughly. Of course,
the White House is on the top of our list, especially since President Reagan
is from our state. Congressman Mineta's office tells us no group tours are
being booked for the White House in advance, but that a new ticket system
is being implemented starting May 23 wherein each potential visitor goes to
a ticket booth near the White House at 8:00 a.m. to see what is available for
that day. We were going to attempt this procedure either Tuesday, May 26 or Wed.,
May 27. Is there any possible way we might be able to circumvent this procedure
and obtain tickets in advance due to our group's special circumstances? Our
boys will be staying in pairs with local host families and will be quite spread
out. Also, is there any chance the team might be able to meet President Reagan or
a member of his staff during their tour? Most of our boys are graduating from the
8th grade this June and have been studying Government this year. That fact, com-
bined with the recent Presidential elections, has made these young men very inter-
ested in governmental procedures and institutions.
Any assistance you can render would be deeply appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Diane Custer

P.S. I forgot to mention that there will be approximately 9

to
I very much enjoyed the opportunity to sit down talk with you at the
opening of the Opera last week. I am sorry that you were not able to
come to TRAVIATA, it was an outstanding performance.
I was hoping that we would see you when Sally and her dancers went to the
White House. I would have liked to introduce you to Sally but perhaps we
will have another opportunity. Incidentally, if you are attending the
Joffrey II performance on May 18, she will be there and I may be with her.
Sometime I would like to talk with you about government support of the
Arts. I am not really talking about immediate funding since I believe that
if the President's program is to be successful, cuts have to be made in
every area but I am concerned for the future. I have been involved in
several different disciplines over a long period of time and on both sides
of the footlights.
As soon as we publish next year's schedule, I will send you a copy in the
hope that you will join us for dinner and the opera during your earliest
visit to New York.

M.E.
Enclosed are two requests for photo sessions with the President
and or the First Lady. The first is from Arnold Newman.
While Arnold does not have as big a reputation as Karsh
of Ottawa, he is in my opinion a much better portraitist.
Arnold is asking for a session in the Oval Office and a
session in the East Wing with the President and First Lady.
I would like to endorse his request and suggest that we schedule
the Oval Office session on one day and the two of them together
on the next.
The second request is from Eddie Adams on behalf of Parade
Magazine to accompany the President's first-person article
for the July 4th issue. Eddie wants to do a portrait of the
President holding a small American flag on a plain white
background. I believe Greg has tentatively scheduled this for
May 13.

Dear Mike:
It was good to speak with you.
Again, what we hope you would do is to help us
schedule a private photo session with President
Reagan before May 14, 1981.
One idea is to have the President photographed
comfortably with a small flag in his hand.
(You get the flag). I think it would be a
dramatic portrait of Mr. Reagan, a profound
statement about the human quality of the man.
Thank you for your help, Mike. Please give
my best to Larry. I hope to see you guys
soon.
Sincerely,
E.M.

Dear Mike:
Your mail must be running at about the same flood
level as the Mississippi after a big winter thaw, but I venture
to add to it with one more personnel suggestion -- for one of
those positions on the Board for International Broadcasting.
The nominee: Col. Barney Oldfield, USAF (Ret.), who is
a well-known-to and longtime associate of the President.
He has many involvements which would seem to match
the position well - Trustee of Edward R. Murrow Symposium, Washington
State University; was the founder of the Radio and Television News
Directors Foundation and administers its endowed scholarships
program; is on the Board of Advisors to the Dean of the School
of Journalism, University of Nebraska; has lived, worked and done
assignments of one kind or another in 69 countries on every
continent; and when we had a Litton International Development
Corporation he was one of its Vice Presidents. He has been
our point of contact in East/West trade, and exchange relations
with Communist Bloc countries, SO has no illusions about the
game-playing. He is widely acquainted with key people, knowledgable,
remembers everybody and they remember him, knows where to go to
get answers and has wide access to all kinds of information. He
is constantly sought out by professionals for backgrounders on
locales, personalities, and how to get from here to there. He
has been variously a newspaperman, worked in radio, was a
Hollywood publicist at Warner Brothers (where the President was
one of his personalities assigned), was the longest timer of
regular military officers in public affairs and was the first
newspaperman to become a paratrooper when the Army started that
branch of service. He is a professional writer, scripts, books,
magazine pieces, speeches (frequently picked up in Vital Speeches
of the Day and the Congressional RECORD). He wrote many of the
one-liners for the President's campaign.
He has been with me now for more than 18 years, is an
adept and skilled staff man, a great admirer and respecter of
President Reagan to whom he has been dedicated for nearly four
decades.
This will give you enough of an idea to make a
determination whether to pursue the suggestion further, and
I appreciate very much your giving it your attention.
Sincerely,
Charles
